Abstract:A broadband planar antenna has been embedded into singly and doubly curved surfaces. Cylindrical and spherical surfaces are considered for this conformal application. Comparative study is presented with parametric study. The parametric study includes the effect of thickness, extent of cut and radius. The results indicate that the impedance of the antenna is not sensitive to the radius; however the radiation pattern is affected for different thickness and extent of cut. Doubly curved thick surfaces produce high… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
